CrossFit Radiance

Dey has made this my best workout experience! He focuses on the functioning of your body as a whole not just about lifting heavy weights. Great camaraderie and encouraging environment

Radiance is the right gym for me, I came in with many injuries but still wanted a challenge. This is no ordinary crossfit box. Dey focuses on form and mindful progression. Im feeling better each time I go and most importantly I’m not aggravating old injuries! This is a no-​ego gym with all the tools and tactics to get you strong again!

This crossfit box is unlike any gym or box you’ve ever been to. Don’t believe me? I dare you to give it a try and prove me wrong.
My boyfriend comes here and I always wondered, «why does it take you 2.5 hrs to get back?» And the reason why I said this is because I’m used to an hr sesh at my other box. Get in, get out! But not at Crossfit Radiance, here’s why.
Coach Dey is so knowledgeable about how the body works. Your first day, you’ll fill out some forms, personal info, health history, and goals. With the history of previous injuries, he can fully help you understand why you feel those aches and pains on the daily or even during work outs. So as you’re working out, he will make sure that if you feel any type of aching, he can quickly analyze and assess the issue. Not only do you focus on that, but your main focus is how to habilitate the area with «flossing» (wrapping a muscle group or joint very tightly in a rubber band called a voodoo band while stretching or performing certain exercises to improve mobility and strength in the wrapped area) and stretches. Once you get comfortable, you’re able to use all the available tools to «roll» out the pain.
This place is not just a simple place to come and work out. It’s for the former athletes that had or have injuries and is looking for rehabilitation for mobility. It’s a place for anyone who wants to learn and understand how and why your body works or NOT working properly. It’s a place where you are able to turn what you thought was your weak points in fitness to become the strength in fitness.
I see why it takes the Man to get home so late when he leaves for his workouts. You’re not just getting a gym to work out in, you’re getting the best of all fitness world: A coach, a teacher, a physical therapist, and a personal trainer all at Crossfit Radiance!
I highly recommend anyone who’s had past injuries in sports or any type of injuries (car accidents, or at work), looking for guidance to get back into shape without the aches and pains of everyday workouts.

Awesome Coach!
Awesome Members!
Awesome Box period!
I didn’t feel like I was being effective at the gym or with my workout routines. I wanted to step up my game. A friend recommended me to CrossFit Radiance about 6 months ago and it has been a great experience both physically and mentally. I am doing things I didn’t even think my body could do. You get a lot of personal attention from Coach Dey. I leave each session feeling accomplished. And even on the more difficult days, I am just that much more motivated to come back and do better next time, I recommend CrossFit Radiance to anyone!!! Try it out and see for yourself :)

I’ve been at CrossFit Radiance for 4 months, but have been doing CrossFit for 2 years prior at various boxes in the South Bay. Coach Dey is the best CrossFit coach I’ve ever had. He’s very knowledgeable with all the movements and will scale the movements to your ability progressing through the movement until you can do it. He also takes the time to teach and gives you a plan to surpass any hurdles that may be preventing you from doing something… whether it be because of a prior injury or poor mobility.
The common complaints of CrossFit is that you will get hurt and it’s dangerous. In my experience I have seen these things happen when given improper instruction. Coach Dey is very cognizant of your well being and will never put you in a position to get hurt. He’s different than other CrossFit coaches because he preaches mobility in order to progress through movement and to recover from a workout. The recovery process is often ignored in other CrossFit boxes and this often leads to injury. At CrossFit Radiance all the mobility tools are available and are one of the first things that you will be taught to use once you step through the door. Coach Dey programs mobility and recovery everyday and encourages you to do it at home. I can rave about the power of mobility tools and how it has improved all of my movements and allowed me to recover so that I can workout everyday, but the only way for you to know is to come in and try it out. I promise you won’t be disappointed and your mind will be blown.
I haven’t really talked much about CrossFit itself up to this point, but I’m sure you’ve done your research and learned about functional movement, metabolic conditioning, etc. CrossFit Radiance is the place to go if you are on the fence about CrossFit.

Radience is the first crossfit box I have joined here in LA, I have not even looked for another gym. Dey is beyond incredible. He’s motivating! Always makes me feel like I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. Dey is all about safety and mobility. The knowledge I have gained from Dey about mobility has changed how I look at working out and staying in shape all together. My life/​daily routine is different to this day and I have Radiance to thank for that!

I’ve only been coming to Crossfit Radiance for 2 months and it’s been an awesome experience. The facility has everything you need to get a good workout in and Coach Dey is very mindful of each athlete’s goals and progressions, which has really helped in increasing my athletic ability. I drive 20 miles out of the way to come here because the results are there and I continue to get stronger and healthier. Here are some things that make Crossfit Radiance great.
Crossfit Radiance has taught me that working out should not feel painful. It should make you feel stronger, healthier, and better than your last workout. Coach Dey takes a different approach from other Crossfit boxes I’ve been to. It’s an ongoing learning experience and I finish the workouts knowing something new about myself, my body, and fitness in general. It feels like a seminar class, but the intensity of the workouts is maintained.
At Crossfit Radiance, proper form is a focus. Dey examines your every movement before and during exercises and corrects your form to maximize the effects of the workout. He is very aware of each individual’s ability and scales each workout accordingly. I’ve been a victim of my own ego before and having a coach that truly knows your ability is a blessing.
Mobility is emphasized. Prior to coming to Crossfit Radiance, I’ve done a few mobility exercises (foam rollers and lacrosse balls). And now I do mobility workouts at home and before/​during/​after WODs. As a member you’ll have access to almost every mobility tool available. Coming out of Crossfit Radiance feels more like I’m leaving a Physical Therapist’s office than a Crossfit gym.

Dey is a great guy who has clearly made it his priority to see you succeed. Dey has shown me that the care he has for your physical well being is second to none. I have seen several of his student progress through the months and it is so exciting to see.
They also create a fun, casual, comfortable atmosphere for beginners. They really take their time to teach you the lifting techniques you need to know, not only to get stronger, faster, and healthier, but also to be safer. Safety is paramount here, and Dey does a fantastic job of making sure that it remains that way.
Go here! You will not be disappointed!

I am very happy with the choice to work out at Crossfit Radiance. It’s not just «another» gym. Coach Dey has taught me to listen to my body and his strength training technique is not just about physical strength, but about mental strength too! Do yourself a favor and check out one of the many classes Crossfit Radiance has through out the week!

I have been working out/​training for the last 2 years and wanted to add another workout that would round out my exercise and address and strengthen my existing weaknesses. I’m a «senior citizen» 60+ and was concerned that CrossFit would be too difficult and that you must be younger to participate– not so if you do it right! 7 weeks later I am so happy I joined, Dey is a very thorough coach, he keeps a close eye on my workouts including level of intensity and is slowly helping me progress plus helping me with a persistent knee injury all while training.
It’s amazing how good I feel and this training has enhanced my other workout routines, I am stronger than ever. Plus it’s a lot of fun… No matter the age, the physical limitations, Radiance CrossFit can address and help you with all of your needs to be a fitter happier you.

Most gyms I’ve been to focus on intense exercise… and a low-​decent amount of pre and post stretching.
At CrossFit Radiance, you warm up your muscles thoroughly every day… using lots of tools to avoid injuries (rubber bands for flossing the muscle, a bunch of scenario specific foam rollers and balls, and even offers other high tech treatment sessions for stubborn old injuries).
The head coach Dey is great! He explains all of the movements before starting, and makes getting through a really intense workout fun and invigorating.
Theres a real focus on creating a «Radiant» body — not lifting as much as you can as fast as you can which usually causes injury.
I have some old football and dirt biking injuries on my shoulder, hip, and foot and thought I couldn’t work out hard ever again.
Dey helped me break past those mental limitations in a way that I didn’t know was possible.
Even though I was afraid to make things worse by working out, he was patient with me and made sure we did everything safely, with a positive open attitude.
Now I can mountain bike, kayak, and swim again with much more range of motion and less pain.
All in all, Dey and his team are just awesome to be around.
If you want to start working out for the first time so you can live a stronger life, or you’re tired of coaches who just want to push you to the max — instead of helping you max out your potential while carefully rehabbing injuries you might have… You should definitely try at least one class and see if I’m right.
If you’re like me and have old injuries and want to heal and get stronger, or any reason… You can call me personally and I’ll tell you how awesome it is at CrossFit Radiance. My cell: 310.561−5510.

Been going here for a little while now. Gotta say, I haven’t been doing this long, but if you want to get in shape this is the place to do it. The Coach here is an excellent motivator, and does not push you beyond your abilities. The main reason I started going here was due to the fact that the coach isn’t about «getting the gains». He wants to make sure that you work out in a safe manner, and work your way up properly without injury, instead of just packing on the weight and going for it. If you are looking for a decent priced crossfit box. I highly recommend checking this place out.

This is an excellent place to get a complete body workout. CrossFit can definitely be a bit challenging but it can also be a lot of fun. If you’ve never worked out before, you can walk into this place knowing you’ll be in good hands. Dey, the trainer, is very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. He will give you consistent guidance, so follow his advice and you’ll look and feel great!
